Optimisation
Data-driven route and area planning
&UP® Optimisation helps to design areas, plan routes and quickly adapt the schedule to changes throughout the day. The system utilises operational and geospatial data, ensuring that planning is based on a real-time picture of the network.
Planning at every level of operations
- design of operational zones and areas
- route and operational schedule planning
- analysis of GIS data and actual implementation
- dynamic route re-optimisation
- identification of overloaded areas and bottlenecks
- a coherent plan for the control centre and drivers
Key features of the module
Not sure which area to start with?
During a free consultation, we will show you how &UP® can help streamline specific areas of your operations.

Lower operating costs
Shorter routes, better utilisation of the fleet and reduced fuel consumption.
Improved delivery punctuality
Taking time windows into account at the planning stage.
Resilience of operations to change
Dynamic re-optimisation allows you to respond without affecting the ETA.
Data-driven strategic decisions
‘What-if’ scenarios illustrate the consequences prior to the investment.

A single source of plans for the entire operation
Optimisations form the planning layer of the &UP® platform.
As a result, the network development strategy, the operational plan and on-the-ground implementation are all based on the same data and business rules.
How does it work?
See what the workflow looks like.
-
1
The system collects forecast and actual volumes from the Forecast and Shipper Portal modules.
-
2
The VRP and TSP algorithms organise zones and route sequences whilst taking all business rules into account.
-
3
The plan is sent to the dispatcher for approval or automatically to the execution module.
-
4
Throughout the day, the system responds to anomalies and suggests adjustments to the plan.
